whitepaper New Insider Threat Emerges in the New Economy2009-01-13 Lumension
  Information security experts are bracing for the law of unintended consequences to swing into action in 2009 as layoffs, downsizing and low morale bring the worst out of trusted insiders looking to profit off of proprietary intellectual property, customer contact lists, trade secrets and any other sensitive information. Many employees have admitted as much themselves in recent surveys - last December the majority of participants in a survey reported that if they were fired tomorrow they would definitely take company data with them to their next employer. To neutralize the threats posed by insiders with ample motivation, IT departments must take away the means and the opportunities to commit crimes.

In this whitepaper you will learn how employees and partners are engaging with your IT assets and intellectual property as well as key steps to prevent this new insider threat within your organization.

whitepaper Multiple-Criteria Decision Support System in Highway Infrastructure Management2008-10-03 Vilnius Gediminas Technical University
  Highway infrastructure represents a significant part of the public assets, and through its lifetime, is exposed to various deterioration processes leading to the depreciation of its value. It is therefore of vital importance to manage these assets aiming to reduce the loss of their value with time to a minimum. A typical task of road managers is making decisions related to maintenance, repair and rehabilitation based on data regarding the existing condition, risk of its use, life cycle costs and age. Road infrastructure is complex, and therefore the optimal choice of planned interventions is a delicate task often left to the road managers' subjective judgment.

whitepaper Trend Micro Enterprise Security: Lower Security Risks and Costs by Minimizing the Time to Protection2008-10-01 Trend Micro
  The enterprise threat landscape has dramatically changed with the proliferation of a new generation of content security threats.

whitepaper Threat Management: Focus on Malicious URLs2008-10-01 Trend Micro
  At the heart of many Web threats today is the seemingly innocuous URL in an email. Called a "Malicious URL" by cyber security experts, this link can lead to a range of unwanted eventualities. Enticed to click on these malicious links by persuasive social engineering, users are unknowingly succumbing to information theft, participation in a larger botnet, and other nefarious activities. The myriad techniques that leverage malicious URLs expand almost daily. As cybercriminals continue their relentless pursuit of profit, these attacks are unlikely to subside, and in fact may increase during times of economic turmoil around the world. This white paper describes various types of malicious URL techniques, used in combination with other approaches, and summarizes some of these best practices and technology-based solutions.

whitepaper Search Engines - How Trustworthy Are They?2008-09-01 Trend Micro
  The World Wide Web has become the largest and most accessible source of information. As with every other information repository, its contents need to be indexed and well categorized, bringing henceforth the need for tools that allow fast and accurate searching in order to find the requested information. This process of indexing, categorizing and searching is completed by both known and relatively unknown Web search service providers, such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Yandex etc. This paper presents patterns used by cyber criminals to exploit search engines and manipulate their results. It will include case studies of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) manipulation, search engine redirections by local malware infection or DNS (Domain Name Server) settings modification.
